I have been neglecting my poor blog. I wonder if it feels sad?
Well, I have had an exciting week - about 4 pounds of to-be-spun fiber acquired. Lots of knitting was accomplished. I need to take pictures! I did spend some time on pictures of a pattern I’m trying to finish up - you can see the thumbnail of it on http://www.knitfoundry.com/patterns
What have I managed to accomplish in the past week or so?
- Decided a sock pattern I was doing was NOT working. Tried three different ones. Settled on a fourth. Re-started sock.
- Knit 1.2 sleeves for the blue baby sweater
- Bought 2 lbs of Alpaca roving
- Bought 2 10oz bundles of Lorna’s laces Roving. Two different colorways
- Bought 8 ounces of a gorgeous blue Merino/Silk roving
- Did a very tiny bit of spinning of Alpaca (not the roving, the Alpaca for my p’cock shawl)
- Did some stash diving to pick out yarn for a sweater pattern I want to make
- Contemplated my Debbie Aran Sweater - thinking it might need to be at a tighter gauge
- Cleaned/organized my spinning area and computer desk
- Tested out some awesome new hand-turned Niddy Noddy’s (soon to be availble at The Knit Foundry)
- Ordered a bunch of cool new stuff to sell at The Knit Foundry
That’s all the fiber related stuff anyway. I unfortunately didn’t really get to take any naps. But I did see the movie Little Miss Sunshine. (It’s hilarious. i recommend it).

Did you settle on the pattern you were working on at CB’s? The last one from the book? :)
